Ridgewood NJ, McDonald’s is testing its first fully-automated restaurant in Fort Worth, Texas. Customers are able to go to the store and pick up a meal without interacting with anyone. The food is still cooked by humans, but they remain in the kitchen. Food is delivered via a conveyor belt. The restaurant only caters to takeaway and drive-thru orders.

This is just the beginning. LABOR is the largest overhead besides cost of goods, and you have to reduce your costs wherever possible. It has already started, but human interaction is almost every endeavor will soon be history. There are tons of examples, but the obvious ones are kiosks at McDonalds and others, tablets to order food in restaurants, EZPass, airline flight check in, human free Ridgewood garage parking, AMAZON (soon to be driverless vehicles), UBER (soon to be driverless vehicles), self check out at supermarkets, ATM’s, etc. It has just begun.
